[Updated 3 January 2013] New effective documents to prevent "smart meter" install in BC

Update – 23 Jan 2013
SEE ALSO:
Post: “Private Notice” documents are foiling BC Hydro’s “smart meter” install program (templates linked) (23 Jan 2013)
Site: http://bcfreedom.wordpress.com

Update – 3 January 2013:
Scroll down to see an important update for people who have received a reply from BC Hydro AFTER you have sent the initial document.

We’re asking that this be circulated widely, for the benefit of all.

Stand ground. Use template. Share.

I’m going to share with you some powerful new documentation that will allow you – and everyone you know – to assert the choice not to be smart meter’d.

This template is applicable to everyone, everywhere, who does not want a smart meter. Because this original template was drafted to freely be used by everyone in British Columbia, it is especially key that it reach the email inbox of everyone in BC – including the 1000′s who do not have a smart meter, and want to keep it that way.

Four documents are linked below: 2 guides, 1 template letter and 1 new poster. They can be customized for your utility and the applicable laws in your region or state. Anyone can customize, filled out, and mail in to your utility.

The background:

See the source posting, and other very helpful information, here:
http://bcfreedom.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/documents-to-prevent-smart-meter-installs-in-b-c/

The documents:

Inspiration: in order for these documents to work for you, you need to use them!

The Summary:

The simple statement “I do not consent” is highly effective… ESPECIALLY when:
1) you demonstrate, in writing, comprehension of the legal system, both its foundation and specific legislation; and
2) you demonstrate, in writing, understanding of your unalienable rights… and you stick to them.

As these new documents help you achieve this, you’re now beginning to dictate terms to your utility, and forcefully informing them of your choice not to be part of the smart metering program. This is a process of taking back your power, which we are unfolding together.

I’ve confirmed with several experts on law, that after sending in these documents, if your utility installs a smart meter anyways (it is highly improbable that they will), YOU WILL NOW HAVE PUT THEM IN A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION, WHICH YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

Were this to happen, either contact us at Take Back Your Power, or Brian Thiesen, and we can help you get connected with someone that can assist you to take full advantage of your position.

Even reading these documents will help to facilitate an empowering new understanding, of the way things are structured in commerce and in society in general.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finally, note that while these documents will help you prevent a meter install, there are several groups working on documentation that will help anyone get a smart meter removed. We will be posting this development as it becomes available, and you will be able to discuss it in our new online Forum, which is in the wings. Info to be sent to all subscribers – subscribe freely on our website.

UPDATE: 3 JANUARY 2013

There is now available a ‘reply’ document template for people who have received a reply from Hydro AFTER they sent ONLY the above document.

Questions?

We’d like any questions to be posted either on this page… or alternatively, on Brian Thiesen’s blog. Our website forums are coming soon.

Remember, do not pay any extortive opt-out fees (EVER),
…STAND your ground,
…STATE your claim,
…SHARE these tools with everyone you know, and
…ENVISION the new earth that we – by following what we know to be true – are creating together.

hi,
what about the USA? this is a Canada based operation as far as I can tell so I’d like to know how people in the US can do something about removing smart meters? (I live in MD)

Many thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
You have a few options.
1) See our Worldwide Directory (under Forums & Directory), for groups in MD.
2) This documentation can be modified to be applicable for your region and its laws, by someone who is familiar with them.
3) http://www.freedomtaker.com also has other documentation for removing a meter, and a guide.
Best wishes!

Hi Alex, You currently have a right to opt out in Maryland. Go to http://marylandsmartmeterawareness.org/ for more info.

HI,
I will sound like a dumb blonde but I am 72 years old and not very good at the computer.
1. How do I get the forms to print out blank (without your sample filled in)? Can I just white it out or what?
2. I received a letter left on my door but I don’t know when as I don’t use the front door often. This letter is addressed to Dear Customer but has no date.
How many forms do I have to send to BC Hydro and register mail them….4?
3. Is there someone I can phone to have me walk me throught this?
Thanks, Jean

Hi jean, you can go to http://bcfreedom.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/documents-to-prevent-smart-meter-installs-in-b-c/

this should help you, it would be just the one form there, and there is a blank one that you can just type through right into the doc on the site. Just click your mouse on the ___________ and a box will appear for you to type into


Jean Doucette | November 19th, 2012 at 8:08 pm

O man, I am a dumb blonde. The letter I got is pertaining to my gas meter and not hydro meter. I’m also fighting Fortis wanting to replace my perfectly fine meter that has nothing wrong with it.

Thanks

These documents seem to pertain to an owner currently living in the residence and also the person who has the hydro account. My situation is that I rent and it’s my name on the hydro account. Do I need to get the owners of the house to sign or can I sign since my name is on the account? Thx..

Hi, you can go to http://bcfreedom.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/documents-to-prevent-smart-meter-installs-in-b-c/ we have answered some q’s about landlord/tennant etc. there and how to proceed in that situation

Well it seems to me, that we are constantly referred to as customers or
clients. Than why is it, that we don’t have any say in those stupid smart meters.
Are they not selling an item? We should be properly informed as to what those
smart meters are about. And that is also up to your so called politicians.
It is their responsibility to inform and protect the citizens of any community
be it city town or whatever. Hydro is a public utility and they have the sole
responsibility to ask their customer or clients for .permission. The analogue meter is not owned by Hydro, but belongs to the house. Did you ever try to take out your bath tub when your house is sold? Fixtures by law have to remain in place, unless an agreement has been made with the new owner of the house. Food for thought.


brian | January 21st, 2013 at 6:15 pm

this is the problem ‘custome’ and ‘client’ are not what we think they mean, nor is ‘account holder’ etc. these are names and words they own, that are attached to you and they use them. Just like banks will call you ‘borrower’ on your mortgage etc. it means much more than the word.

This is something much more than the “Smart Meter”. It’s about total control
by corporations world wide. Just remember 1% are the so called elite,
who are holding all the $$$$. You really think, that the U.S.of A is broke? Think again.
Trillions of dollars hove moved off the coast, for what reason? For ultimate control
of the planet. ? I f you check the smart meters that have been in stalled already world wide, that makes you think.
Hey what is really going on here????? Then you get someone like “Rich Coleman”, who has the nerve to make a statement’ “We need to be educated”. I think this is an insult to the masses., and should not be taken lightly. Remember we are the other 99% POWER IS WITH THE PEOPLE AND NOT WITH THE GLOBAL GRID!
